Subject: Re: Why not Python? (No, no, I am not a spy)

Three years ago I wanted to put all of the medical records of my office 
into a Zaurus pda.  However, the Zaurus
used python with QT as a GUI.  The office system is on Windows 2000.   
So, I had to learn python  to program the
Zaurus but I could use Ruby on the office computers because those 
programs were command line and did not depend
on a GUI.  It took me half the time for the Ruby programs compared to 
programming the python component.  So I much
prefer ruby.

On another note, having used Fox, QT, and Tk as GUI's I found that QT is 
by far the best documented and flexible GUI.
